SkyMesh 3D worked with OrthoTech Mobility Solutions to digitize amputee limb stumps with extreme precision, allowing for perfectly contoured prosthetic sockets. This process improves comfort, reduces fitting time, and leads to better mobility outcomes for patients.

“For the first time, I have a prosthetic that feels like a part of me.”

Challenge

Traditional prosthetic fitting methods rely on plaster casts or foam impressions, which can be uncomfortable, imprecise, and time-consuming. The goal was to streamline the process while improving accuracy and patient experience.

Solution

Using a handheld Artec Leo scanner, we captured the residual limb's surface in full 3D. After digital cleanup in ZBrush, we generated precise negative molds for 3D printing, which were then used to cast custom sockets. Additional adjustment zones were designed digitally for dynamic pressure relief.

Results

Patients experienced faster turnaround and significantly improved fit. Clinics reported a 40% reduction in post-fit adjustments, and patients reported higher satisfaction with comfort and range of motion. Remote scanning also allowed clinics to serve clients in rural areas more efficiently.

Tools Used

Hardware: Artec Leo, Formlabs Fuse
Software: Artec Studio, ZBrush, Meshmixer, Fusion 360

These case studies are conceptual and based on realistic, technically feasible scenarios intended to demonstrate our future capabilities. They serve as vision pieces while we fundraise and build toward full implementation.
